The Hidden Role of Bile in Hormone Balance, Detox & Digestion (Part One) When most people think of bile, they think of “that stuff your gallbladder squirts out to digest fats.” But the truth is — bile is one of the most overlooked yet powerful fluids in your body, with far-reaching effects on your hormones, brain, and metabolism. In this episode, we dive deep into: 🫙 What bile actually is (beyond fat digestion). ♻️ How bile works as your body’s garbage truck, escorting out toxins, excess estrogen, and metabolic waste. 🧠 Why sluggish bile flow leads to hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, and even brain inflammation. ❌ Common causes of poor bile flow — from low stomach acid to stress, low-fat diets, and gallbladder removal. ✅ Practical strategies to support healthy bile flow so you can optimize detox, digestion, and hormone clearance. If you’ve struggled with bloating, estrogen dominance, gallbladder issues, or feel “toxic” no matter what supplements you take, this episode will show you why bile might be the missing link in your healing journey. 👉 Tune in to Part One of this Deep Dive series to learn how to get your bile moving — and why it’s essential for hormone balance, detoxification, and long-term gut-brain health.   Learn more at www.debbiepotts.net and www.rootcausedoc.com to get the the root of your chronic health struggles so you can thrive as you age!

Fiber, Polyphenols & Your Gut Microbiome: Part One Are you feeding the right microbes — or the wrong ones? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we’re kicking off a new two-part deep dive into how fiber and polyphenols shape your gut microbiome, your metabolism, and your long-term health. Most of us have heard that “fiber is good for your gut,” but the truth is more nuanced. The type of fiber — and the type of gut you have — makes all the difference. For some, fiber can help feed beneficial bacteria that support digestion, immunity, and brain health. For others, especially those struggling with SIBO, IBS, or candida overgrowth, the wrong kind of fiber can worsen bloating, gas, or inflammation. That’s where polyphenols come in — the colorful plant compounds found in berries, green tea, cocoa, and pomegranate. These act as a gentler “fertilizer” for beneficial microbes like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, while helping keep harmful bacteria in check. In Part One, we’ll cover: ✅ The difference between fibers and polyphenols in gut health ✅ Why your gut type determines your response to fiber ✅ How polyphenols can help reduce toxins like LPS (endotoxins) that drive inflammation ✅ Practical food swaps to support a healthier, more resilient microbiome By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why one-size-fits-all fiber advice doesn’t work — and how you can use food color and polyphenols to start healing your gut from the inside out. 👉 Learn more & connect with me: 📲 Follow me on Instagram & social media: @CoachDebbiePotts 🎥 Watch & subscribe on YouTube: Coach Debbie Potts 🌐 Visit: www.debbiepotts.net

Most people think acid reflux means they have too much stomach acid — but the opposite is usually true. In this episode, I dive into why optimal stomach acid (pH 1.5–3) is the “Goldilocks zone” for digestion, nutrient absorption, and microbial defense — and what happens when it’s too low. We also explore H. pylori, a common stomach bacteria that can disrupt acid production, trigger gut inflammation, and set off a cascade of symptoms like bloating, reflux, nutrient deficiencies, and even mood shifts. 🔎 What you’ll learn in this episode: Why stomach acid isn’t your enemy — and how it protects you The critical role of pH 1.5–3 for digesting proteins, absorbing B12, and killing pathogens How H. pylori uses urease to neutralize stomach acid, creating the perfect storm for overgrowth and dysfunction Signs you may have low stomach acid or H. pylori infection The downstream impact on the gut-brain axis, histamine issues, and overall health Functional strategies to restore healthy acid levels and support gut repair 💡 Key Takeaway: Stomach acid is your first line of defense and digestion. When H. pylori or stress pushes your acid too low, it sets the stage for gut dysfunction, reflux, and chronic symptoms. By addressing root causes and restoring the digestive “fire,” you can break the cycle and reclaim your gut health. 🌐 Learn More + Connect with Debbie Potts: 💻 Website: www.debbiepotts.net ▶️ YouTube Channel: Coach Debbie Potts 🌿 Linktree: linktr.ee/debbiepotts  

Why We Need More Than 10–15 g Protein Snacks to Stimulate Muscle Protein Synthesis 💪 A handful of nuts, a protein bar, or a latte with collagen powder might look healthy… but here’s the truth: 10–15 g “protein snacks” aren’t enough to flip on muscle protein synthesis (MPS) — especially as we age. In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I take a deep dive into why small snacks don’t cut it and what it really takes to build and preserve lean muscle in midlife and beyond. Here’s what you’ll learn: 🚺 Women & Menopause: Why hormonal shifts amplify anabolic resistance and demand higher protein doses per meal. 🚹 Men & Andropause: Why testosterone decline and insulin resistance make “protein grazing” ineffective. 🔬 The Mechanisms: Hormonal decline, anabolic resistance, insulin resistance, and inflammaging — and how they blunt your muscle’s ability to use protein. ⚡ Counter-Strategies That Work: Why you need 40–50 g of high-quality protein per meal (not 10–15 g snacks). The leucine threshold (3–4 g/meal) and why it’s the “on-switch” for MPS. How Stacy Sims’ heavy lifting protocol + protein beats age-related muscle loss. The role of creatine, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and sleep in keeping your body in build mode. 📌 Bottom line: snacking on small amounts of protein throughout the day won’t protect your muscle. To overcome anabolic resistance, you need bigger protein anchors, heavy lifting, and smart recovery. 👉 Tune in now and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform so you don’t miss this deep dive. 🔗 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/@coachdebbiepotts 📲 Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/coachdebbiepotts 🌐 Learn more at: www.debbiepotts.net
